 Cyril Luxey


Cyril Luxey was born in Nice, France in 1971. He received the DEA (Master degree 1996) and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering (1999), both with honors (Summa Cum Laude), from the University of Nice-Sophia Antipolis, France. During his thesis, he worked on several antenna-solutions for car applications like printed leaky-wave antennas, quasi-optical mixers and retrodirective transponders. From 2000 to 2002, he was with Alcatel, Mobile Phone Division, Colombes, France, where he was involved in the design of internal antennas for commercial mobile phones. In 2003, he was recruited as an Associate Professor at the Polytechnic school of the University of Nice Sophia-Antipolis to teach electromagnetics, antennas and RF microelectronics. Since 2009, he is a Full Professor at the IUT Réseaux et Télécoms in Sophia-Antipolis where he is the head of a technical bachelor degree. He is also the co-supervisor of the EPIB team. In October 2010, he has been appointed as a Junior Member of the “Institut Universitaire de France (IUF)” for five years. His current research interests include the design and measurement of Millimeter-wave antennas, electrically small antennas, antennas in-package, multi-antenna systems for diversity and MIMO techniques, antennas for biomedical applications, plastronic solutions for small communicating devices. Cyril Luxey is an IEEE Senior Member. He is an associate editor for IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters, a reviewer for the IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation, the IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters, the IET Electronics Letters journals and several European and US conferences in the field of microwave, antennas, propagation (EuCAP, EuMC, IEEE-APS, IWAT, LAPC, VTC etc…). Cyril Luxey and his students received the H.W. Wheeler Award of the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society for the best application paper of the year 2006. He is the co-recipient of the best paper of the EUCAP2007 conference. He is also the co-recipient of the best-paper award of the International Workshop on Antenna Technology (iWAT2009) and the co-recipient of the LAPC 2012 best paper. Cyril Luxey has authored or co-authored more than 200 papers in refereed journals, in international and national conferences and as book chapters. He has been the general co-chair of the Loughborough Antennas and Propagation Conference 2011. He is a lecturer in the European School of Antennas for the “Industrial Antennas” course.
